Baisser les APL de 5€, c'était soit disant "indolore".
Augmenter d'environ 5 € de plus la taxe aérienne : "cela peut faire une différence".
CQFD.

The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family. That horror etched itself into my life and forged my belief in the urgency of disarmament. I’ve heard this horror reflected over and over again in the stories of other hibakusha—survivors of these unimaginable attacks.

In between is a stylized hand with an olive branch topped by a peace symbol
At very bottom are logos for NTI and Critical Mass
@PhoenixSerenity @chris No, I cannot. I spoke about other topics, and did not talk about like accessibility.
It's fair to say that all of us should have these issues at top of mind and on the tip of our tongues. I am sorry to say that they were not for me that day.
I read that you were not happy with the stated masking policies at Fedicon. It's justified. There were masks available for everyone at the event, though, and about 1/4 of the people were masked.
Post from Democrats on some service
"Millions will lose access to emergency alerts, kids' education, and local news because of this."
The post includes an image from Sesame Street set with Big Bird, Burt, Ernie, puppeteers and others
Text on the image: "Breaking: Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds PBS and NPR, shuts down after federal funding cuts"

So apparently there's this big #FediForum coming up tomorrow & on weekend in #VancouverBC. I was thinking about attending for a few hours as 2 of the nonprofits not on Mastodon yet were willing to pay for me to go. Unfortunately - the organizers seem to be very #ableist.
I sent a direct question about their #CovidSafety protocols because their event site info had ZERO info for concerned people who don't want to catch covid at any forum/convention. No answer at all. This lack of providing public information on #Covid & how they plan to mitigate, lack of answers on my direct public safety question -> top shelf #ableism.
This event isn't #inclusive.
Don't advertise this #FediForum as #inclusive if any of you planning to attend this #ableist FediForum are too cowardly to speak out even ONCE for #PeopleWithDisabilities.
Don't fucking tell me that you're anti-ableist either - if you can't even speak out about this absolute lack of consideration for disabled folks. In addition to ignoring a direct question about covid safety to main organizer - who, by the way, doesn't use #AltText either.
I remember when this happened.

There's a clip of Biden's final state of the union address, where he mentioned "there are republicans who want to cut Medicare and Medicaid"
Republicans booed, MTG stood up and yelled 'liar', Sen Mike Lee stood up shaking his head 'no'.
Every single one of them voted to cut Medicare and Medicaid.

oh hey mastodon, i hear you friggin nerds like #bicycles, so get ready for a #photodump 🧵 from today's visit to the Cincinnati Museum of Art's exhibit "Cycle Thru! The Art of the Bike". https://www.cincinnatiartmuseum.org/art/exhibitions/cycle-thru-the-art-of-the-bike/
first, below are some 1890s bikes. my favorite of this set is at bottom right.
this is a wild bit of design... the water bike! see description card (or #AltText attached thereto).
The Count from Sesame Street with large, colorful numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 behind him
Below him in small text it says" "1, 2. 3. 4 trillion dollars in tax cuts for the rich. O dollars for public broadcasting so kids won't understand how insane that number is."
Here's some early pics of my new zinnia mix, "blueberry cream". I would have called it "blueberry yogurt" but I'm weird that way. Still trying to get a good shot of the white ones. Just haven't caught the right lighting yet to do them justice.

6 panel comic featuring a guy and a monk in medieval garb
P1: monk says, "Your choice of lifestyle is an abomination."
P2: guy responds, "But I've been this way since I was a child.
P3: monk says, "This scriptures say it is of the Devil!"
P4: guy responds, "But who am I hurting by being this way?"
P5: monk says, "It's EVIL! You must renounce this behavior!"
1/2
P6: guy responds, "What if it's NATURAL?" and monk says, "There's NO proof of that!"
Below it says, "Being left-handed in the middle ages"
alt-text note: also being left-handed in the chain saw aisle
Can't read artist name.
editorial cartoon, looks like artist is Adam Zygus
a huge belipsticked pig labled "$4 trillion deficit" with some Republican applying the lipstick while saying "This is about eliminating gov't waste ..." while shoving PBS, specifically Sesame Street and Oscar the Grouch, and NPR into a trash can
Would be nice to have a way to automatically save the text one takes a screenshot of into the metadata of the screenshot.
First I thought of running it trough Frog or some other OCR – but then I remembered that the text is right there… It should just be copied in some way, right?
Is there an alt text metadata field in png, btw, that can be accessed by websites asking for alt text?

#ScribesAndMakers 2025.07.22 — Show us something you've created. Tell us the story behind it.
There's not much of a story, here. Both my spouse and I have families where preserving fruit in alcohol was a thing (Ukrainian & Italian extraction). In both traditions, what got used was with a neutral spirit, aka vodka. My grandmother used to make her vodka, and reportedly blew up the kitchen sink in a Chicago apartment a long time ago.
These cherries are preserved in bourbon, and newly made so they've about a month to go to be fully enjoyed. I'm creative when it comes to food and food preparation, so a few years ago after making vodka cherries and having left over cherries after running out of the Tito's, I tried a bunch of things like Triple Sec and Old Granddad. The batch I made with Uncle Nearest generated a fandom.
Sadly, I used my reserved Uncle Nearest for this batch. The new bottles just bought, obviously made by a distiller who bought out the original entrepreneurs, cheapened it. It was obvious: dark brown verse light reddish brown, even discounting the address change. Sad.
I think they'll make good cherries next year, though, if not for drinking neat.

Today's #MothOfTheDay is a tiny 4mm micromoth (about a grain of rice). Micros are known by their Latin name first, with vernacular as secondary.
LOBESIA RELIQUANA (Wood Marble) A tortrix moth; ergo it spins leaves to create larvae shelters. Hard to photo in focus with 6yr old iPhone because it's so miniscule!
